Taste: 5/5Value: 5/5
“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Gachibowli and picked up Alexis Lichine Merlot. At ₹2,220 in Hyderabad, this represents incredible value. The notes of Ripe plum and Cherry pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani. Highly recommended!”
